Is this the sync test that runs when launching Nuendo - like when one installs a new sound card?

That sync test usually verifies against the cheap onboard sound card. If your motherboard has on board sound, make sure the drivers are installed for the on board sound card and let the sync test verify that sound card. This is more of an internal sync thing that I have never been able to make work if trying to verify sync to my MOTU.

For example, my sync test checks sync to my on board sound blaster. If this test passes I get proper sync to the MOTU as well.

The Sync test as noted above pretains to the onboard motherboard.
You can say no to the question of whether to run it safely.
Once Neundo comes up, switch the asio device to the MOTU ASIO driver in devices VST Audio something or other.
